Posted by on

The Museum of Flight is a private non-profit air and space museum at King County International Airport (Boeing Field), south of downtown Seattle, Washington. It was established in 1965 and is fully accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.


The Museum of Flight has something for everyone and is recognized as one of the foremost educational air and space museums in the world.


This 12-acre cultural landmark includes more than 131 air- and spacecraft and over 19,000 other artifacts, including a Concorde, SR-71 Blackbird, F/A-18 Hornet, and America's first presidential jet, Air Force One.


Discover the Great Gallery where 30 incredible aircraft are suspended overhead in a spectacular, glass building.


The most spectacular display space at the Museum of Flight is the Great Gallery, a six-story, glass-and-steel structure that contains more than 30 vintage airplanes, including a 1935 DC-3 and the first Air Force F-5 supersonic fighter. The best way to enjoy this display is with a knowledgeable Museum of Flight docent.


For extra fun in summer, Museum of Flight visitors can relive early aviation's barnstorming days, with a biplane ride.


The Wings Cafe at the Museum of Flight is open to the public without admission charge. It's a good place to get a close-up look at Boeing Field.
